Any PST Trainers for an IDTF here????

by kcnurse2003

Hi everyone!

I'm a PST trainer from Missouri. I work for 1 of the 4 IDTF's in the country. I'm trying to connect with other trainers from all over the nation to compare stories, training tips, ideas and general networking on anticoagulation.

If you deal with patients taking Coumadin (warfarin) and want to test at home, I've been training on the CoaguChek XS Roche meter. The market is booming since CMS expanded coverage to Atrial Fib, PE and DVT.

I hope to make some new friend here!
Thanks,
T
